almost week four for me. ground school about a month and our schedules for sims have us done about 2 months after our start date (actually JUST short of two months.) Not more than a couple days or so from ground school to sims.
As for sims they are sending people to st. louis. The amount of new hires and capt. upgrades are just two much for two sims in eagan. Some people get to stay in eagan some people get to st.louis, some sim pairings are FO- FO or they are FO - CA. it all depends. Aparently they also have another sim lined up in Earth City, MO at flight safety. SO they are getting more sims opened down south.
Possible rumor of some extended time off between sims and IOE due to so many newhires compared to checkairmen. Not sure about that ,its just a rumor.
